Norths Economy Chapter 13 Sections 1-2
Slide 7
Technology and Industry During the 1800s, advances in
technology and transportation shaped the Norths economy Before
1800: Most people worked on farms Most goods were made by hand, one
at a time Blacksmiths, tailors, shoemakers Changes on how Americans
worked, traveled, and communicated Power-Driven Machinery
Industrialization Technology
Slide 8
Norths Ability to Industrialize New Methods in Technology and
Business Increase production Raise money to fund other things Rich
supply of natural resources Three Factors of Production: 1.Land
2.Labor 3.Capital
Slide 9
Land Labor FACTORS OF PRODUCTION All the land All the natural
Resources located on the land Number of workers - Need workers to
turn raw materials into goods
Slide 10
Capital Equipment thats used in production of goods Buildings
Machinery Tools Money for investments Large amounts of money were
needed to finance industrial growth
Slide 11
Production of Goods Land and Labor are needed to produce
capital goods Capital Goods are needed to produce consumer goods
People can buy manufactured goods
Slide 12
Improved Transportation Contributes to the success of Americas
new industries 1807: Robert Fultons Steamboat Faster and more
reliable than flatboats or sail-powered vessels 1800-1850: Built
thousands of miles of roads and canals Open new shipping routes by
connecting lakes and rivers Growth of Cities Connection of farms in
the Midwest to cities in the Northeast 1840-1850s: Growth of
Railroads Speed the flow of goods 1869: Transcontinental Railroad
is completed
Slide 13
Faster Communication Telegraph Uses electric signals to
transmit messages Samuel Morse Morse Code May 24, 1844: First
successful telegraph message Series of dots and dashes representing
letters of the alphabet
Slide 14
Norths Agriculture Railroad gave farmers access to new markets
to sell their products Advances in technology increased the size of
harvest people could produce 1800s: Farmers move to the Great
Plains of Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota Afraid to move farther west
because of the matted sod and infertile soil
Slide 15
ADVANCES TO AGRICULTURE Inventions: John Deeres Steel-tipped
plow in 1837 Stronger to cut through hard packed sod Cyprus
McCormicks Mechanical Reaper Sped up the harvesting of wheat
Thresher Separates the grain for the stalk Slavery largely
disappears in the North by 1830s Still have prejudice, segregation,
and discrimination Couldnt vote, attend public schools or
facilities Forced into separate schools and hospitals
Slide 16
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY New Inventions:
Telegraph, Steel Tipped Plow, Reaper, Thresher, Steamboat,
Improvements: Communication, Production of Goods, Transportation,
Agriculture GROWTH OF THE U. S. Growth of cities: New Waterways,
Railroads, More Extensive Area Reached By Railroads, Canals, Roads,
Growth of Factories NORTHS ECONOMY Cash Crops, Quicker and Cheaper
Transfer of Goods, Growth of Markets, Money to Fund Industrial
Growth
Slide 17
Northern Factories Although there were many advances in
agriculture, the North was focused on INDUSTRY 1820-1860: Growth of
Mills and Factories Before this time, small shops (Blacksmiths,
Shoemakers, etc.) Machines took over many production tasks
Clothing, Textiles, Shoes, Watches, Guns, Sewing Machines,
Agricultural Machinery
Slide 18
Factory System Bad and Dangerous Working Conditions Longer
Hours Worked to Produce More Goods 1840: Working days averaged 11.4
hours Increase in On-The-Job Accidents Loss of limbs, Death Factory
Owners Push for Profits Dont care about the security or safety of
employees Formation of Trade Unions Strikes Shorter Hours, More
Pay, Better Working Conditions
Slide 19
Immigration 1840-1860: Dramatic Increase in immigration
Manufactures welcome immigrants Desperate for work, even if it
meant working long hours for little pay Numbers: 1820s: 10,000
1830s: 20,000 1840s: 80,000 1850s: 360,000 1860s: 155,000
Percentages: - 1820-1840: Ireland 35% Germany 22% Great Britain 14%
All Others 29% - 1841-1860: Ireland 33% Germany 32% Great Britain
16% All Others 13%
Slide 20
Waves of Immigrants 1846-1860: More than 1.5 Million immigrants
come from Ireland Potato Famine killing more than 1 million (1840s)
Most were Farmers who didnt have money to buy land Took low-paying
jobs in Northern factories 1848-1860: More than 1 Million come from
Germany Democratic Revolution (1848) Most had money to settle and
establish industry Most went to the Midwest
Slide 21
I MPACT OF I MMIGRATION Change the character of the country
Bring their own languages, customs, religions, culture Before
